update needed.

I need to update the blog.
I apologise for being so absent, dear blog readers.

I just haven't been motivated to do much of anything at all.

However, stay tuned. I've been thinking of some changes that will be made to the blog schedule this starting this week. So perhaps tomorrow there will be a real post. (I'm not making any promises though..)

until then... here's a little picture breakdown of how I get ready. (spending way too much time alone this last week left me thinking this would be a really cool idea. haha)


 yikes




Magic's in the make-up. ♥

Woops!

I didn't get a chance to get on a computer yesterday, so no weigh-in Wednesday for me... but here I am to make up for that today!




This weeks loss: 0lbs (okay.. like .2 of a loss...)
Total Loss: 6lbs

Super Bowl Sunday destroyed my diet for the week! But whatevz. It was delicious... I was also pretty depressed and unmotivated this week, up until today, so unfortunately I ate out more than in and spent more time sleeping than up doing things. :/ Boo.

************************

I just need to say real quick... Tonight's Conan was pretty disappointing. And George Lopez is NOT funny. ughhh.

************************

I had to go to court today. Unfortunately, I was quite a pro at making poor decisions about 4 years ago, and I'm STILL paying for it. I thought it was all taken care of and I was done and over it, until about 3 weeks ago when I got a letter in the mail saying that I was being found guilty of my Plea in Abeyance (which means I didn't enter a plea, just promised to not get in any more trouble and do all of the court ordered counseling and pay my fine, and after 18 months the charge would be dropped and not show on my record) and needed to appear for sentencing. I was shocked. I finished my counseling. Haven't gotten in any trouble. And have paid such a ridiculous about of money to the Utah court system that if I had all of that money now, my car would almost be paid off. I called the next day first thing in the morning to find out what was going on. The clerk told me that I had missed a court date, then after I argued that this was the only letter I received, realized that the letter for that court date had been returned and had a post office sticker stating that it was unable to forward. She then told me that I had a balance left on my fine, so that might be why also. So I went and paid off the rest of that fine. Anyhow, at court the Judge brought both of those issues up, then saw that I had paid the balance on my fine. And after I explained that I never got the letter, he looked through my file and saw that the original letter was right there in front of him. He then looked through the reason for my Plea being revoked and said that I never finished my court ordered counseling. SERIOUSLY!?!?!?! Ugh... It's so frustrating. I was in counseling for over a year because of this! And the second I had that paid off, I went straight to the Clerk and gave them the papers of my completion. The judge told me to just bring in another copy and they'll close my case successfully. Which is good and all, but I was still upset that they LOST MY FREAKING PAPERS! Before I left the courthouse I went back into the Clerk to find out WTF happened. Turns out they had put it with the wrong case (this is all so embarrassing, but yes, as stated before... I wasn't making the smartest decisions there for a while..) so they have the proof-- just not where it's supposed to be. And since that case is closed, it would take a month for them to get it, so I couldn't just take it back into the judge and have it done with right then. It's all so frustrating!!! (just a note... If this judge wasn't the coolest Judge ever, and decided to revoke my plea as stated in my letter... I would have had to do SIX MONTHS in jail. All due to a stupid mistake that I had nothing to do with!)

At least now I can stop worrying, and I feel like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders.

My computer freaked out last night, so here I am now to finish this post! :D

My best friend ever, and Cousin Alesia went with me to hold my hand and be my moral support for court. I just love her. :) After all the heavy, we were going to pop by my parents house to get some sinus medicine (I've developed a bit of a cold. Booo!) So we called my Mom to see what she was up to and if we could come visit her for a minute. And have her read us a "stowee". We went to the school and hung out with my cute Librarian Mommy as she had story time with one of the classes. I love my Mama. :)

Then we went to Costa Vida for lunch her Alesia's man. DELISH! (the food, not her man. ha)

And then... (are you ready!?)
WE WENT TO HOBBY LOBBY!!!!
It was my very first Hobby Lobby experience! Oh it was so fantastic! Oh I wish we could have spent more time there! And that I had my own place to buy EVERYTHING there to decorate with! But we got feathers to make me some feather hair extensions! And I got a few things to make shirts a little easier. :) And I've been trying to come up with an excuse to go again!

On the drive home Alesia said she needed a bobby pin, I handed her two, and she proceeded to do her hair like this. (obviously, she found more than just my two in her purse to do the rest of her hair!)
The lighting in this picture is so awful... we look gray. But I love her. So it's goin up!


Hope everyone had a good week, and have good plans for the weekend!

Oh my

I'm torn between posting an actual post.. and just going to bed.

I've come to many unsettling realizations in the last few days. But I'm trying to stay positive.

But that is the reason for my uncertainty on whether I should actually delve into this post here. As it would certainly end most whiny-baby... And I already feel like there is WAY too much of that on this blog.








Random photo drop... Just a few pics that bring a smile to my face...

Don't worry about it.

Just some things :)



When I come home from Zumba, I shout into the back a "Hello!" to my Grandma.
She follows up with a "Hi! How was Zumby?"
LOVE that


I want a vacation to California.
Mostly for the beach.
Mostly for my cousins.
Mostly for the California smell.
Mostly for the Monteray Bay Aquarium.
Mostly because I want to stalk Conan O'Brian.
What a deliciously tall creepy ginger. :)


I am absolutely in love with the red in my hair. <3


I am getting SO excited for Glee to start!
3 more days!!!


I really am starting to miss snuggly sleepovers.
Mostly because he was a perfect space heater.


Green Olives stuffed with minced pimento are my FAVE.


I wish I could have a dog.
But when I think about it seriously, I decide it's best I don't.
I think my pup would get jealous.
does that make sense?


There's a boy at work.
He's in college.
He wants to go to med school.
He plays the piano.
He looks very similar to a certain single father I used to be all about.
I crochet him things during our shift.
He complimented my eyes today.
i think he should ask me on a date.


I'm pretty cold right now.


I LOVE that Jodi is hooked on Zumba now!


I need to stop looking at Blogs when I'm on my phone.
Because I ALWAYS want to comment.
But then my phone flips out and won't let me
And then I forget when I get back on the computer.

Jump up, let's get KRAZY!


That time of the week again!

This weeks loss: 1 lb
Total Loss: 6 lbs

Definitely not as much as I'd like... Especially after all that Zumba last week and this week! But I know what the problem is... and I'm going to be fixing that today.
What's the problem you ask? I don't eat very healthy. If at all. :/ So then when I DO eat, it's just crap food that I'm stopping to grab between jobs, or just a little handful of soy nuts here and there to hold me over. Or a black bottom chocolate chip cookie out of the vending machine at work. (oh man... I'm such a sucker for those, it's awful!) So today, I am going to go buy some groceries, make up a meal (totally just typed "metal"... I'm so hardcore.) plan, so that next week my total loss will be a whole TEN pounds! Wish me luck! (And Jeri, thanks for the website suggestion!)

***************

In other news, It's been another wonderful Zumba filled week! Starting bright and early on Monday morning with my Mom! Both times I've gone with her in the morning, she comes in to wake me up and I immediately say "NEVERMIND!!! I'm not going! It's waaaaaaayyyyy too early for that!!" But I get up anyways and once we get to the church and the music gets going, I'm so pumped! (Then I crash from my Zumba high halfway through the day and am a total ZOMBIE by the time I get home from work)

I love sleeping at my parents house though! And my pup loves it too. He follows me around all night, and once it's way past his bed time (since I can never get myself to go to sleep at a decent hour) he looks at me like "What are you doing still awake! I'm tired woman! Let's go to bed!" So I'll go pull down the covers and pillows, go take out my contacts, and when I go back in the room he's all snuggled up on the bed ready to go to sleep!
I just love him. And his cute grey beard that's coming in.
(even though it breaks my heart a little that he's already starting to grey :( )

I have just some random pictures that I was going to post... and I have no idea how to lead into them.. so I'm just going to go for it. Ha :)
 On Saturday when I was driving to work, it was SO FOGGY! It always gets super foggy at my house. But as I got closer to State St., and the fog started clearing a little, the sun looked AMAZING coming over the mountains through it all. I really wish I could have gotten a better picture. But I think these do it a little justice.

I slept under all of my blankets last night, which I don't normally do. I have so many blankets on my bed, I just go under the first few layers depending on how cold it is. And seeing as how last night was FREEZING!!! I decided it was definitely that kind of night. I woke up and found I had slept the whole night with this:
EEEEP! I'm just happy I didn't get jabbed! I don't even know how that got in there! :/


                               
                               That's all for today I suppose. :) Off to make the most of this chilly day!
